Answer:
0.45 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Letting the value of g = 10 m/s/s
final velocity (v) = 0 m/s (since the egg will come to rest at the maximum height)
initial velocity(u) = 4.5 m/s
acceleration = -10 m/s/s (since the gravity is acting against the egg)
time = t seconds
From the first equation of motion:
v = u + at
0 = 4.5 + (-10)t
t = -4.5 / -10
t = 0.45 seconds
